110 Words of Affirmation Every Wife NEEDS to Hear – FREE Printable

Husbands, did you know your genuine words of affirmation towards your wife are more meaningful and carry more weight than encouraging words from a thousand others? It’s true! You have the ability to access parts of her heart and soul no one else can. You know about her hopes and dreams, insecurities and idiosyncrasies. You know what makes her tick and what makes her sick. You know the raw, unrefined parts of her, which is why recognizing her strengths is so meaningful.

Being intentional about speaking words of life to your wife and digging for the gold in her can make the difference between a disconnected marriage and an incredibly satisfying one. David and I want that for you, so if your heart is to bless your wife but the right words are hard to come by, we hope this post will serve as a Words of Affirmation Resource Guide to assist you in your efforts to encourage and strengthen your wife.

Practical Ways to Express Words of Affirmation to Your Wife:

Be generous with your reassurance and recognition of your wife. Make it your mission to notice everything positive! No matter how strong and confident she is, she needs to hear how proud you are of her, how beautiful she is, and how much you appreciate her daily.

Here are a few practical ways of getting the message across:

Leave a sticky note on the bathroom mirror with some words of encouragement so it’s the first thing she sees when she wakes up.

Leave her a message that expresses your gratitude.

Call her midday and tell her you’re thinking about her.

Let her know you are on your way home and that you can’t wait to see her.

Have the waiter deliver a hand-written note when you’re on a date.

Brag about her to others — even if she’s not present as she’s likely to hear about it later on.

Tell her why you are attracted to her when she least expects it.

Tuck an affectionate note into her purse that declares your love.

Make sure to write your own thoughts in a card instead of just signing your name.

Whisper sweet words in her ear as you hug her when you first get home from work.

If she’s a mom, make sure to let the kids hear you so they learn how to honor her by watching you!

These are just a few examples of encouraging things you can say to bolster her confidence.

Even if your wife’s primary love language is not words of affirmation, she needs to hear your encouragement more than you think. Trust me, you can’t over do it! If you’ve read to the end of this post, let me just say how awesome you are! You are a gift to your wife and she will be so blessed by your desire to love her well!
